DATE :26 SEPTEMBER 2016
Authored by Witness Dingani
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS
• What is a prophet?
• which role of a prophet that is being questioned here?
• Are the Zimbabwean prophets involved in politics?
• What is a politician?
• Can be Zimbabwean prophets regarded as politicians instead of prophets.
COMMENTS
• It is important to note that Zimbabwean prophets, just like Israel they are involved in politics. There are so many prophets in Ancient Israel who were involved in politics, this include Moses who confronted King Pharoah and he fought the holy wars. It will be loss of memory if one ignore the contributions of Samuel, Elisha and Isaiah of Jerusalem.
• One must understand that politics and prophecy cannot be separated, when a prophet is involved in politics, it is in just to label him as a politician. He is a prophet who is involved in politics. This has been supported by B.W.Anderson page 252, paragraph 2, line one and Scholar Skelton cited in the book of Masotsha titled "Prophecy and Politics in Zimbabwe "page 34 at the bottom of the page.
